What free bandwidth? Netflix is trying to handoff the traffic that Verizon's customers has requested. Verizon can't handle that amount of traffic despite the fact that in the vast majority of cases it's customer are only asking for an extremly low percentage of the bw they are being charged for. I.e. I have a 75/35 connection and it's frustrating that Verizon chokes when all I'm asking for is a stream of 1/25th of what I'm paying for.
That isn't the case, and that isn't how peering agreements work.
